When you are searching for a job, the goal is not just to BE better than
your competition. Instead, you goal should be to THINK differently than your
competition. If you think that the only way to find a job is to search on
the job boards, think again. If you believe the job market is hidden, it's
because you are not looking for opportunities in all the ways that you can.
There are so many opportunities right in front of you. You just have to see
them. You can learn how to see the light when there doesn't appear to be
any, how to uncover the hidden job market, and how to turn misfortune into
opportunity. Learn to differentiate yourself in order to win the race to the
finish line.

About Abby -

Abby Kohut is the President and lead Staffing Consultant of Staffing
Symphony, LLC, whose mission is to enable companies to conduct business
better with a well-tuned staff.

Abby's career began in computer sales. She worked for a computer reseller
for five years, managing major accounts such as Bear Stearns, Grey
Advertising, Gartner Group and the Museum of Natural History and was elected
into Apple's Million Dollar Club. Although successful in sales, Abby felt
most passionate about hiring and mentoring new sales reps for the company.
Thus began her career in Human Resources and career development.

Abby's next successful recruiting project was at Cheyenne Software, where
she personally hired 500 employees in two years, effectively doubling the
size of the company. Following that, Abby worked for Kaplan, Inc., a world
leader in educational services, for seven years. Abby took on various roles
including Senior Director of Recruiting and Career Development, which
offered her the opportunity to lead a team of recruiters responsible for
filling staff and management positions across the country. In particular,
Abby led teams that hired 50 Customer Service Representatives in two months
and 900 part time K-12 teachers in four months. She also career coached and
mentored many top internal applicants into new roles within the company.

Following Kaplan, Abby managed several recruiting projects for Alpharma,
Inc., a pharmaceutical company. First, she developed processes and
procedures for the company to follow while managing a recruiting team, after
which she became the Interim Director of Human Resources. Later on, Abby
managed a sales expansion project necessitated by the launch of the Flector
Patch where she helped double the size of the division, hiring 300 employees
in four months.

In the recent past, Abby led the expansion of a national outside sales force
and support staff for the Economist Intelligence Unit, Economist Magazine
and CFO Magazine. Abby's most recent role was Interim Director of Recruiting
for Beth Israel Medical center and St. Luke's - Roosevelt Hospital. In this
position, Abby managed a large recruiting team responsible for filling
1,000-2,000 positions per year and developed written documentation around
their processes and procedures.

Since the beginning of her career, Abby has volunteered her time to help
with career development and networking projects. She edited the careers
chapter of the book "Fabulous at Fifty". She volunteers as the Strategic
Growth Advisor and Manhattan Networking Leader of Whine & Dine, a social
networking group for Human Resources professionals. She is also a member of
SHRM and the HR Alliance, and is a LinkedIn Open Networker (LION) who Tweets
on job search strategies. Abby is frequently requested to present workshops
on job search topics to career networking groups in the tri-state area. In
2009, Abby co-hosted a conference for job seekers in NYC. Career experts
delivered information on how to beat the competition in 2009 and win the
race for a new job.

For the past 15 years, Abby's passion has been helping other people find
theirs. Jump on the bandwagon today to find out how she can help you find
yours!

Please self screen and if you are a match for the position requirements,
please contact the recruiter (Paul McLaughlin) and let him know that I
referred you.

Please DO NOT send me your resume since I am NOT the recruiter nor the

Good luck.
